We teach founders how to build the financial story that backs up the business plan — and how to close the gaps before an investor finds them. Free, always.
Your business plan tells a story. Investors want to see the same story in the numbers.
Most founders are good at the first part. Almost nobody has been taught the second. And when a round falls through, nobody explains which part went wrong.
The gaps are usually the same few. A growth curve with nothing driving it. An amount that does not match what it is meant to pay for. Runway nobody has worked out. Small things, and all of them fixable — once you know where to look.
That is what the Club is for. We teach you how to build the financial side of your plan, and we show you the gaps investors find first.
You learn it from people who read these numbers for a living: investors, finance people, and founders a round or two ahead of you.
Not a course. Not a pitch event. Nothing to buy, and nobody selling. Just founders getting better at the half of the job no one taught them.
That is the whole reason. Better financials, more founders funded.
Good companies lose rounds over things that are easy to fix and hard to see from the inside. We wanted somewhere founders could fix them together — before the meeting, not after the no.
So we started a club. Non-profit, run by its members, with one focus: learning and inspiring each other to build financial plans that bridge the business plan and the numbers behind it.
Entirely. Nothing is sold here, nobody pays to be in the room, and the Club has no commercial purpose of its own.
Members decide what we work on next. The programme comes from what the people in the room need, not from a syllabus.
We come to get better at something, and to see how others did it. Nobody is pitching and nobody is raising in the room.
We want to be a real part of the startup scene here — a group that knows each other and keeps showing up.
Over time we want the Club to be the place Copenhagen founders come to before a round — and the place the ones who closed it come back to, to tell the rest of us how they did it.
These ten come up in almost every first meeting, and they decide whether there is a second one. We work through them together — what each question really asks, and how to answer it with your own numbers.
The first meeting is an introduction to the Club and a first working session on getting ready to raise money. One hour, nothing to prepare, and you leave with something you can use.
First, what the Club is, who is in the room and how we work together. Then straight into the first subject: preparing to raise money — what investors ask first, and what you should have ready before you walk in.
Everyone who comes leaves with the planning model and the checklist, ready to put your own numbers into.
Apply now and hear the date firstMore sessions go into the calendar from there, working through the ten questions one at a time. Some are on-site in Copenhagen, some are online, so you can join from wherever you are. Members hear the dates first.
You bring your own numbers to all of them.
A founder who just raised tells you what they were asked — including the questions they could not answer. Then we go through it together.
Investors show you how they read a plan, and what makes them stop reading. Nobody pitches. Nobody is raising in the room.
Small groups, one question at a time. A budget, a cap table, a use of funds. You work on your own case and leave with it in better shape.
Members get the material we teach from. Not theory — the actual examples, models and templates you can put your own company into the same week.
The financial part of real plans — ones that raised, and a few that did not. You see what a credible set of numbers looks like before you have to produce one.
A working model you put your own business into: revenue drivers, costs, hiring, cash and runway. Built so an investor can open it and follow it.
Use of funds, cap table and dilution, runway, and the ten-question checklist to run over your own plan before anyone else does.
All of it free, and all of it meant to be used straight away. Every session adds to the shelf, and members can ask for what they need next.
We talk openly about real numbers, so membership is by application. Tell us where you are and what you are working towards. We read every application and come back to you.
Free to join — always. We just like to know who is in the room.
